Senior Ukrainian Official: Bennett Pushed Zelensky to ‘Surrender’ to Putin — Report

THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: Prime Minister Naftali Bennett pushed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to accept an offer from Russian President Vladimir Putin, which would require Kyiv to make significant concessions in order to end Moscow’s invasion, the Walla news site reports.

Walla does not divulge the details of Putin’s offer, but previous reports from the news site said that Putin is demanding an independent Donbas region, but stopping short of regime change in Ukraine.

“If I were you, I would think about the lives of my people and take the offer,” Bennett told Zelensky during a phone call on Tuesday, according to a senior Ukrainian official who spoke to Walla on condition of anonymity.

Zelensky did not take well to the proposal, responding with a brief “I hear you.”

“Bennett has proposed that we surrender,” the senior Ukrainian official tells Walla. “We have no intention of doing so. We know that Putin’s proposal is just the beginning.” » | LIVEBLOG | Friday, March 11, 2022

Could Israel or Turkey Broker Peace in Ukraine? | DW News

Mar 6, 2022 • Israel appears to be emerging as a diplomatic dark horse. On Saturday, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett became the first world leader to meet with Vladimir Putin since the invasion began. The surprise meeting was followed by talks with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Bennett then travelled on to Germany – the second time this week the two leaders met, after Scholz visited Jerusalem on Wednesday to discuss a diplomatic solution to the crisis. Bennett has offered to act as a mediator, with Israel maintaining good relations with both Russia and Ukraine. Turkey's President Erdogan has held a phone call with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. The Turkish leader was expected to urge Putin to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine. Turkey has close relations with both Moscow and Kyiv but recently moved to limit the passage of Russian warships into the Black Sea. Under the Montreux Convention Ankara can block ships from passing through its straits during wartime but can't prevent them from returning to their home ports.

En Israël, les ultraorthodoxes marginalisés par Naftali Bennett

LE FIGARO : RÉCIT - Le nouveau gouvernement israélien veut briser les monopoles, tabous et avantages acquis par les haredim en trente-sept ans.

Correspondant à Jérusalem

Coiffé d’une kippa, Matan Kahana, le ministre israélien des Affaires religieuses, respecte le shabbat, est fidèle aux règles de la casherout, le code alimentaire du judaïsme, respecte les traditions et veut renforcer l’identité juive d’Israël qui, selon lui, aurait tendance à se dissoudre. Ce conservateur bon teint est l’un des ténors de Yamina, un parti sioniste religieux ancré à droite dont le chef, Naftali Bennett, dirige le gouvernement de coalition en place depuis juin. Son profil pourrait rassurer les milieux religieux. Il déclenche au contraire une vague de colère dans le camp des haredim, les «Craignant Dieu» en hébreu. » | Par Thierry Oberlé | lundi 13 décembre 2021

Israel's New Political Star Naftali Bennett's Jewish Home Party Determined to Stop Palestinian State

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Naftali Bennett, the new star of Israel's political world, looks set to lead the Jewish Home party to a stunning success on Tuesday that could put him in government. Afterwards he will use all his power to block a Palestinian state, enraging Arabs and risking international isolation for Israel.

Israel's new rock star politician Naftali Bennett strode into the Great Synagogue in Jerusalem flashing smiles at adoring supporters, as shutters clicked and excited whispers rippled through the audience.

On Tuesday, according to the polls, the voters will make him the second most powerful man in Israel. He will be either a formidable opposition leader, committed to blocking any attempt to give up land for peace, or more likely a partner in a coalition government, pushing a set of far Right policies that enrage Palestinians and risk a breakdown in Israel's already strained alliance with America.

Mr Bennett, 40, leader of the Jewish Home party [sic] (Habayit Yehudi), is the first Right-wing hipster in Israeli politics, campaigning in jeans and joking in Hebrew slang, and in an otherwise lacklustre general election campaign, he gets an excited reaction that rivals can only dream of. But although the image is casual, the hard line message is one that no other mainstream politician has ever dared to put forward.

"I am vehemently against a Palestinian state within the Land of Israel," he told the audience, gathered at the synagogue to hear candidates debate.

They roared with enthusiasm.

There is relative calm in the occupied territories, he told them. "We can ruin all this by establishing another Muslim state in our midst, like we did in Gaza, and get another 100 years of misery."

The audience loved it. The candidate from the left-wing Meretz party was booed when she outlined her intention of reviving an old plan to get the peace process going.

Israel's voters are used to choosing from a list of bearded rabbis, party hacks with corruption charges hanging over them, and earnest Left-wingers who make them feel guilty. Mr Bennett's message of unrepentant Jewish nationalism has blown through Israel's dusty political world, reaching places where nobody thought it ever would. » | Nick Meo, Jerusalem | Saturday, January 19, 2013
